• Boomer Wants to Learn Mac

  I switched from Windows to Mac, back in 2011, and haven't looked back since! Windows Vista was the absolute worst and Windows 7 wasn't much better. They turned me off Windows forever.

  But even though I love Hazel, I suspect you might be more interested in something like Forklift while this does support cloud storage out of the box and is able to sync all by itself. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

• How do I, once and for all, SET ALL of Finders folders and subfolders to the same view and sort order?

  It's the type of app that either has enthusiastic users or people who shrug at it. It's a very powerful Finder replacement. Not my cup of tea, personally, and I use Forklift when I want a Windows Commander-like file interface. (Forklift was built as an FTP app, but does a lot more.). - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• New to Mac entirely, and somewhat to DevOps. Any suggestions on getting started moving from primarily Windows/Linux? Given a MacBook Pro 2019 16"
